Asset protection for long term care requires advanced planning of more than five years to be effective. So, if you want to ensure that your home and assets are protected, start planning now. But, keep in mind that asset protection can be challenging and, if not done properly, extremely costly with the rising expense associated with long term care. So, start early and make sure to get help from an experienced asset protection attorney.
Asset protection planning is about preparing for your future needs and services and developing a plan to protect the assets that you have worked so hard for and preserve the eventual inheritance for your loved ones.
A Medicaid asset protection trust is a vital tool in ensuring your home and assets are protected. We assist our clients in determining what trust will meet their needs and what assets they should include in their trust. Each client’s plan is unique. Planning early is vital to Medicaid asset protection.
For most, your home is your most valuable asset. We help our clients implement a plan to protect their home after receiving necessary services, such as home care, assisted living or nursing home care under the Medicaid program and/or avoid the costs of probate.
While advanced planning for complete asset protection is always the goal, life can take unexpected turns. When long term care is required sooner than expected or planned for, crisis planning is available to preserve a portion of one’s assets while still obtaining the care required and services covered by Medicaid. Crisis planning is very complicated and time is crucial in minimizing costs and maximizing asset protection.
As a legal team with 120 years of combined experience guiding our clients through the asset protection process, we understand all of the concerns, complications and time constraints that make asset protection so difficult and emotionally draining.
